Lowry did not participate in Monday's shootaround due to back stiffness, but he is still expected to play in Game 5 against the Bucks, Raptors radio play-by-play announcer Eric Smith reports.

EDGE Analysis

It looks as if Lowry's absence from shootaround is mostly precautionary, as the expectations for the All-Star point guard remains that he'll be active in a crucial Game 5. Lowry's status will likely be updated closer to tip-off, but in the event that he is unexpectedly held out of Monday's contest, Cory Joseph would be in line for a start and huge bump in minutes at point guard.

Lowry scored 18 points (8-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt) while adding four rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block in 43 minutes during Saturday's 87-76 Game 4 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

He's been alternating poor performances with solid ones in the series, which perhaps doesn't bode well for the Raptors in Game 5, but Lowry has also started to find his range from beyond the arc against the Bucks' tight defense, draining exactly two three-pointers in three straight games. If the point guard can heat up from downtown, Toronto might be able to avoid another early playoff exit.

Lowry scored 22 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT) while adding five assists, four rebounds, three steals and a block in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 106-100 Game 2 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

After a brutal 2-for-11 shooting performance in the opener Saturday, Lowry was back in form Tuesday as he led the Raptors to tie up the series. Toronto will need their point guard to continue producing at a high level if they're going to avoid another first-round postseason exit, however.

Lowry scored 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT) with four assists, two rebounds and one steal across 17 minutes in Wednesday's 98-83 win over the Cavs.

EDGE Analysis

With the Cavs resting LeBron James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, Toronto put the game out of reach earlier which allowed Raptors' coach Dwayne Casey to rest Lowry as the team heads into the playoffs. He managed to creep into double-digits scoring, but it was a disappointing unfolding of events for DFS players hoping to squeeze a little more production out of the All-Star point guard.

Lowry collected 17 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 assists, seven rebounds, three steals, and one block in 38 minutes during Sunday's 110-97 win over the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry was extremely efficient during his third game back in the lineup. He was the only Raptor who saw at least 30 minutes, and his wrist hasn't appeared to bother him all that much. Since Lowry missed a little more than a month following surgery, it's reasonable to expect him to play decent minutes down the stretch so that he can continue building some positive momentum heading into the playoffs.

Lowry contributed 12 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-5 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 96-94 victory over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Though Lowry dropped an impressive 27 points and 10 assists while shooting 9-for-16 from the field during his return Wednesday against the Nuggets, he couldn't buy a bucket Friday against the Heat, struggling from all parts of the floor. He shot an atrocious 20.0 percent from both the three-point line and charity stripe, as well as committing five turnovers. While he likely won't continue playing this poorly moving forward, it may take longer than a couple games for Lowry to get truly acclimated after recovering from wrist surgery. He should probably continue being employed in year-long formats, though could make for a risky DFS play.

Lowry scored 27 points (9-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT) with 10 assists, five rebounds and two steals across 42 minutes in Wednesday's 105-102 win over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry couldn't have hope for a better return to action from a wrist injury that kept him sidelined since mid-February as the Raptors rallied back for their eighth win in their last 10 games. He immediately returned to the starting lineup and put to rest any concern that he would be restricted in any way by playing a team-high 42 minutes. The double-double was his tenth of the season, and he'll look to build on that as the Raptors continue to jostle for playoff positioning as the regular season winds to a close.

Lowry (wrist) will play without restriction Wednesday against Detroit, Michael Grange of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the first time since undergoing surgery on his wrist in early March, Lowry was listed as questionable to play Wednesday, and the team has now clarified that the All-Star will return to action following an absence of nearly seven weeks. The 31-year-old is expected to immediately reclaim the starting point guard spot from Cory Joseph, and it appears he'll be without a minutes limit, though he'll likely still be monitored after such a lengthy layoff. Toronto has won eight of its last 10 games with DeMar DeRozan taking on an even larger offensive burden, so it will be interesting to note how Lowry's presence will impact his backcourt mate's production over the final four games of the regular season. Entering Wednesday's contest, the Raptors are tied with the Wizards, but hold the tiebreaker, for the No. 3 seed in the East.

Lowry (wrist) is questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry has been listed as questionable for the first time since undergoing surgery on his right wrist March 1 to remove loose bodies. While the team probably isn't a rush to get Lowry back on the court before the playoffs, possibly risking re-injury, his partial participation in Monday's practice combined with his designation for Wednesday's game is a good sign for his availability as the regular season nears its end. That being said, it seems unlikely that he would take the floor before going through a full practice, which makes his questionable designation Wednesday seem somewhat premature.

Lowry was a partial participant in Monday's practice, Josh Lewenberg of The Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

After participating in shooting drills last week, Lowry continues to make progress following surgery on his right wrist. The team is likely in no rush to return their starting point guard before the start of the playoffs, especially considering the Raptors have won eight of their last nine games. However, a tuneup before the start of postseason play is also possible, but that likely won't come until Lowry is able to be a full participant in practice, so look for another update once he manages to do that.
